Cute japanese playfood rings

Absolutely nothing to do with gaming, these, but I've had a lot of compliments on them recently, so I thought I'd share.

SouZou Creations - based in Japan, selling on Etsy - makes the cutest jewellery using tiny Japanese food-replicas. They are fragile, and completely adorable. I've collected most of her teacup rings, and this lovely coffeecup one too, as snapped by Richard Moross:

We were lucky to come across a case of these "katsuji" (Japanese typewriter "keys"). There are over 2300 of these. They are vintage but have never been used. These would have been the extras in case the ones in the machine broke. Please look at the last picture to see what an old Japanese typewriter looked like. There were at least 2000 keys so needless to say, this was only used in businesses.

They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at least 30 years old as Japanese stopped using them once the word processor was invented.

This would be perfect for using as a stamp with ink or for stamping clay etc.

This stamp is the Kanji (Chinese character) for "鮭" "sake" "Salmon".

It measures 2.3 cm long (long enough to be able to get a nice grip) and 5mm wide. The Chinese character itself is about 5mm wide....so please note how tiny it is. It is made of metal.

This is a cute Stitch boiled egg shaper. It is easy to make boiled egg like Stitch Face. You drop in a freshly boiled egg and let sit in the fridge for about 5 minutes. You might also make Stitch shaped rice ball by this. Your kids love to see Stitch Smile on boiled egg. perfect for making cute easter egg bento.

This is a cute hannari tofu plush / stuffed toy. This one is called melon tofu plush / stuffed toy in fruits tofu series. He has a melon on his face and melon surface patterns on his head. so cute!! This is a rare item that we can't find this anymore.

I spent a great time in Asturias these days (photos soon!) and today, my dinner salad will go with these rabbit eggs. I made the form with japanese molds for bento. This hobby is so cool! I love all the accessories for bento food! Just Bento published a post with how to use the egg molds. You can check the website for knowing a little bit more about bento culture.

This nori punch is soooo cute! There are pictorial symbol pattern to punch nori. You can make cute smiling face. It doesn�ft give the size of the punch but it is small. Perfect for adding cuteness to your child�fs lunch!

Scheduled Blackout For latest scheduled blackout information in Kanto and Tohoku area, please refer to the Yahoo! JAPAN Emergency Information (English) for links to English list of blackout groups and times. The information is updated frequently.

About this box Earthquake Information is currently being displayed in Japanese for those users using Facebook in Japanese, in Korean for those users using in Korean, and Chinese for those users using in Chinese.

Please note....if you want to decorate something made from ABS polycarbonate you must make the whipped cream decorations on wax paper and let dry first...then glue them on otherwise it won't stick. I offer cake blocks, rolled cake blocks (that you can cut to any size)...these can be directly decorated with the whipped cream clay.

1)Use in a well ventillated area.2)Poke a hole in the mouth of the tube.3)Connect the decorating tip.4)Hold the same way as if you were decorating a cake.5)If you wish to decorate the item, go ahead and decorate it. Or you can use wax paper and make the decorations first and then glue them on after. Please use wax paper so your decorations don't stick while drying.6)Point the tube right down and squeeze out the desired amount.

Depending on the size of your whipped cream decoration, it will take at least a day to dry. Before 24 hours, the outside may appear to be dry but inside it is wet so please don't move it. Please dry in a well ventillated area.

If you get some in your eyes when the clay is wet, please rinse well. Please don't eat as it is not food and for kids under 12...parents should help.
